Manaphy @ Leftovers

Nature: Timid

EV's: 252 Defense, 252 Sp. Defense

Moveset:

Tail Glow - for setting up

Scald - STAB Move

Energy Ball - to take care of other Water types and pokemon with the major weakness of grass-types.

Ice Beam - To slay Pokemon with the weakness of Ice-types EV spread should be 252 SpAtk and 252 Speed. Without Special attack investment, it hits rather weak even after setting up. Speed is also important to outrun pokemon before being hit, which also makes it survive longer on battle. Lack of reliable recovery move makes it not worth investing in defenses.
